War Don't End (Power Struggle)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS
War Don't End
The war didn't end when Saigon fell
The CIA's got a story to tell
Bout the secret army from the mountains of Laos
And the people were promised that we'll get them out

They got so poor didn't foresee
The communist party claiming victory
Hired guns now run for the hills
They run and since day one survivor skills

Peb Cov Hmoob (Karma)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Peb Cov Hmoob
Our Hmong
For our lost to people

es kuv cov neeg tau poob zoo tag nrhiav tsis tau txoj kev txog tsev
mus qhov twg peb hnov suab phom peb ua zoo li caj lawv nhriav tau peb
kuv pom lawv tej me nyuam saum rooj tsis muaj txiv, mus tua rog tag
kuv noog lub ntuj ua cas peb hmoob tsis muaj hmoo peb tiag li zoo li no
Hey my people have lost their way, they can't find their way back home
Wherever we go we hear gunshots, no matter what we do they find us
I see children in the mountains, no fathers, they're all at war
I ask the Lord why do we Hmong have no luck, why we end up like this

I Wish I Was An Angel (Yangmee Lor)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS
I Wish I Was An Angel
Your heart wonders if we're gonna make it through
Torn apart from the land that loves you
Running from your fears every day
Wishing, hoping that there will be a place to stay

Crying to sleep every single night
You're a star, hope and faith inside
So many years has gone past
Your pain and sufferings will sure to last

Roots of My Mother's Life (Victoria Vang)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS
Roots of My Mother's Life
Over the land and sea and back to the roots of my mother's life
I have a dream that we can free those in need

Cuz there is something we all can do
And it lies beneath the skin
There is something, we face the truth
And we fight till we have won

Rin' Disbanded

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Rin’ Notice

We would like to thank everyone for always supporting us, but we have an announcement to make: We have decided to end our time together as Rin’.

Ever since our debut in 2004, the experiences and meetings that we have had were invaluable. We were able to walk and share the joys together to today because everyone has supported us.  We didn’t know how much strength your warm words could offer.  We are happy that we were able to go on with everybody.

Our feelings of gratitude are many, and we hope our music will resound happily inside of everyone.

If you walk down this road
You must not lie
You must not hesitate in any way
Take the road and let things be

So please watch warmly over us as we move on.
Thank you so much for loving us and our music.

Official notice from AvexNet.

Peb Haiv
Nco txog peb haiv hmoob

Los peb sib sau ua ib kev

A Flower Bud

The tears that fall
Like a smile covered in sweat
Cannot be distinguished, that is why
I didn't know about the fall of your tears

It's still burning
Lighting up my heart
That affectionate light you gave
Was proof of your love

Enveloped by those soft rays of the sun
We started to talk
When a day like this comes again someday
Surely surely surely we would understand

Fading, the flower bud in bloom
Waitss for me too this year
The dancing petals in the wind
That my palm can't grasp
Lands lightly on my shoulders
Carefully removing the petals I smiled
As I remembered and thought of you only

Buried within hollow structures
The buds of our dreams will grow someday
Won't the flowers bloom? I believe dreams Don't choose where they grow

The shadows we let fall across these streets
Are all looking for the light
Even when the flow of time overlaps
Surely surely surely the days will pass

On a windless track of roads the beautiful May sky was blue and lonely
The shiftless scattered clouds
Float on eternally
For they have no place to return to
Just like me, the whispering wind
Danced its way down like my tears

On the verge of falling
The flower petals open up once more
Just like the silent encouragement
You gave me that I hold in my hands

Fading, the flower bud in bloom
Waits for me too this year
Even now I still can't grasp
The dream I painted with you
Standing by my side
Like that gentle opening smile of yours
I searched for the flower bud in the sky

Night Moon

Purity, more precious than anything,
Once encountered, changes the world
Right before our eyes

The reason why we exist
In the past and in the future
Will surely be the same

On the night that I long for your love,
The light of the moon
Shines through the window

Turning over the pages
Of my faded memories,
I open up all the feelings I tucked away

We possess weakness and fragility
Yet we do not turn away our eyes
Because of it

On the night that I wish for your happiness,
The light of the moon
Flickers on the surface

A Kiss on My Praying Hands

And the boy fell into a deep sleep
Within the flames flaring to life
Little by little

Floating towards the boy's lovely face
Are thousands of dreams on this earth
Thousands of dreams

On the night the silver eyes fluttered
You were born in a scattering of light

No matter how many years
Return my prayers back to earth

I will still keep on praying
For this child to be loved
With a kiss on my praying hands

The Millennium Earl is searching
Searching for his precious heart
I will find out if it's you

He is searching
Searching for his precious heart
And I will find out if it's you

Now sing with me

The Millennium Earl is searching
Searching for his precious heart
I am not the one so who will it be?
He is searching for his precious heart

The Millennium Earl is searching
Searching for his precious heart
I am not the one so who will it be?

Because I will find out if it's you
I will find out if it's you

Watch Over Me (Watching Leona)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS
Watch Over Me
What lullabies do they sing before they go to sleep
What does tomorrow bring I hear my mother weeping
Forgotten soldiers stay awake although their eyes are closed
They watch the sky, watch the sky and sing their lullabies
There's more to life than this, they promised me
There's more to life than this

Someone watch over me, help me find paradise
Angels watch over me, help me find paradise
Someone watch over me, help me find paradise
Angels watch over me, help me find paradise
